ST Helped Put 1t There"

In looking over your columns, says
correspondent of the National ITib-
qt,.e, it is somewhat amusing to see
how some of the comrades claim spe-
cial glory or fame for themselves or the
regiments to which they belonged.
One will claim that it was his regiment
that raised the first flag at certain
place, or took a battery at another; and,
by the way they write, you would think
the rebellion would never have been
put down if it had not been for them.
Comrades, are we not claiming too
much glory for ourselves? If we, af-
ter hard-fought battle, lived to plant
the flag on fort or captured battery,
let us remember those who fell by the
way.
I remember reading of soldier who
fell at the foot of Lookout Mountain,
mortally wounded. For some time he
lay there apparently unconscious of all
around him, but by and by he heard a
shout which seemed to come from q
distance. He reused little and asked
comrade:
"What is that?"
The comrade told him that it was our
boys cheering on the mountain; that
they had driven the rebels, and our
flag was floating on the top.
Raise me up" he said, "and let me
look once more on that flag"
The comrade raised him up, but his
eyes were too weak to see the flag. He
asked again if it was on the top, and
his friend assured him that it was.
well" said he, "if it is, I helped
put it there!'
Yes, comrades, although he fell at
the bottom, or in the commencement of
the fight. yet he truly helped put it
there, Just as much as those tnat lived
to reach the top. And while we are
claiming SO much for ourselves, let us
remember the brave boys that fell at
the foot Of the mountain. They ahelped
put it there" as much as any ona of
us did. j. B. ROVE,

Shoulder That Arm.
BY ED WARWICK.


Even in the face of death the Union
soldier retained his appreciation for the
ludicrous. Not unfrequently the most
droll and laughable remarks were
heard when the situation was one of
great peril. A laughable incident of
the Spring Hill fight is thus related
by one of the survivors of that hot lits
tie battle.
Bradley's brigade was ordered to
take position in the center of the ad-
vance lire. In order to get into posi-
tion it was necessary to enter field
inclosed by a high picket
regardless of the consumption
of timber, and were only found where
that article was abundant. They were
made by first digging trench and then
setting cedar-posts perpendicular, as
close together as. they could be placed.
These posts protruded from the ground
about six feet, and altogether it was q
legal fence, according to the testimony
of the Indiana farmer, whose defini-
tion for such fence, when on the wit
ness-stand, was one that was pig-tight,
horse-high, and built strong. The only
way to lay down this fence was to do it
with an ak, and the posts were chopped
off near the ground, making an open
ing about the size of an ordinary
door. Through these narrow open.
ings Bradley's division entered
the field and formed in position.
The attack was first made on
the tanks, but it was not long until the
engagement reached more general
one, and it became apparent that the
forces employed could not check the
advancing Confederates. Bradley's
COW pasture, as some of the boys after
ward called it, was invaded by the en-
emy, and there were only two alterna-
tiyes-either to fall back or be cap
tured. The former was thought to be
advisable, and the retreat was ordered
and the boys began to pour out
through these narrow openings. At
one of them, where quite num-
Der were seeking egress, pri-
vate, through carelessness, got his gun
crosswise the opening, and completely
checked the retreat. Those behind
pushed forward. The private made o
desperate effort to remove his gun, but
so great was the rush for exit that his
gun was held securely in place. Va
rious remarks were made, and calls to
those in the lead to pass on. When
the situation became apparent to one
of the Lieutenants, he yelled out, "Pri.
vate Wilson, why in the hi don't you
shoulder that arm?" Private Wilson
was doing his best to do SO before the
command was given, and finally did
raise one end of the gun above the
picket, when it flew off to one side, and
he was given an impetus that sent him
several feet in advance.

F0UyD WITH 4 DIYyYIyG ron

One of the most recent triumphs of
the divining rod in Britain has been at
Avonmouth docks. The company own
ing the docks having received an init
nation that an American company
proposed establishing a sugar factory
near the docks provided a good water
supply could be secured, certain Mr..
Lawrence, who had the reputation of
considerable success as water-finder,
was engaged to examine the neighbor-
ing ground. In this case the rod
employed was piece of spring steel,
which was bent to the shape of horse
shoe as the searcher, holding his ell
bows close to his sides, began to walk
slowly over the field. After while
the steel became so violently agitated
and twisted itself with such force that
one of Mr.. Lawrences fingers was cut.
He directed the company to commence
boring at the spot thus indicated by
the shedding of his blood, and the work
was accordingly commenced. At the
depth of 107 feet water wat struck and
has since flowed at the rate of 1000
gallons per hour.-The Quirer.

Saved Their Bacon.
BY WILBUR H. WEBER.


1t was some little time after the bat
tie OF Baton Rouge. We had concen-
trated our forces upon the Government
grounds and thrown up line of earth
works for better protection. We were
IN continual expectation of being at
tackled by the enemy-in fact, our cav
airy pickets were generally skirmishing.
Our infantry pickets were stationed
about mile from the river, forming a
circle around the town, and had orders
to retire if attacked, SO that the gun
boats could shell the enemy.
On the day in which the events mar
rated happened, squad OF Company
d, Sixth Michigan, was posted on the
last street parallel with the river, in
front of Magnolia Cemetery, and on
the street leading back from the river
on the right of the penitentiary. Our
single pickets or videttes were we'll adj
yanced, while the relief or reserve re-
NAMED some distance in the rear, near
some rough, new houses on the out
skirts of town.
The whole town had been deserted
by its inhabitants during and just after
the battle, leaving their houses just as
they had been living in them, already
furnished. Going on picket was al
ways our opportunity of supplying our
selves with meat, and for that reason
we We're always ready to go. We had
gone out early in the morning, and
while two were on post the remaining
four were industriously foraging. BY
twelve or one o'clock we had beef and
n good, nice pig, just large enough to
fill an oven.
Up TO this time we had not thought
of entering any OF the houses, but the
necessity OF roasting our hard earnings
led us to look around. Sure enough,
in the first house of three snug little
rooms we found everything we wanted.
A clean little kitchen, well-fitted up,
with stove ware hanging conveniently
on the wall, and, in safe close by,
salt, pepper, and any other condiments
likely to be called for, seemed just the
ace to do our work.
Corporal Joe Shaw and myself were
the cooks, and we went about it in a
busincss-like manner. We soon had a
